Feelings Cannot Be Invalid
Location
I need an education
So I can get a job
At least that's what they say
Society, Dad, and Mom
Without college we're all stupid
Something we've all been made to believe
But the stress builds up as does the debt
And these problems make me want to leave
I'm out of ways to pay
That won't bite back
I work two jobs and yet my school
Still leaves me with a lack
Of money, of sleep,
Of any stability
It's so very hard but,
"It's my responsibility"
Each day I awake
Feeling a punch to my guts
But all I can hear is my soul crying back
"Dude, you're stuck in a rut."
Every morning is alike
Class, work, class, work
But the minute I voice exhaustion
I'm labeled an ungrateful jerk
Life has not been the hardest,
I'll admit to that
I did not go on wanting
Was never shoved under the mat
But one thing I'm so tired of hearing
Way too friekan often
"You have nothing to complain about
Name one thing in your life that's been rotten"
Just because life hasn't been terrible
Is no reason to say I lied
I don't control everything
I'm just along for the ride
But my problems are still problems
mybe just a differnet scale
I still need school, food, and stable future
And my future is never for sale
